Now, power creep is one of those phrases that gets bandied about a lot on HCRealms and probably pretty much any place that gamers discuss collectable games. But let's have a look at this little fella.Now, I know nothing about the comic-book character, having still failed to read Agents of Atlas despite being very keen to do so, and he may very well be an excellent representation of M-11 - but look at that dial and then look at that points cost.
Eight clicks of life, just one of which has an attack number that isn't 10. Seven clicks with 10 attack and 3 damage - supported by five clicks of willpower. Now, I have harped on on these pages about not being a fan of figures without move and attack powers, but TK offers an easy way round that. Throw in a heavy object and this guy could be a threat to just about anyone.
But I digress: power creep. For the same 59 points (and let's be fair and just look at recent sets) you could alternatively have Professor Ivo, Veteran Trapster or Red Ghost. All respectable figures in their own ways, but not even in the same league as this guy.
Dial source: HCRealms
Totally representative of the comic character.
ReplyDeleteM-11 is an old fashioned 'monster movie' robot (so is never going to be top dollar point cost)
But he is utterly lethal. In fact they could have gone even more dangerous for the clix.
btw - get the AoA trades. Great fun.
thats insane for 59 points, he'd go right in
